Abstract

Leukocyte entry into tissues is the hallmark of all types of acute and chronic inflammatory events. Both inflammation and leukocyte specificity are exhibited in this process. In most situations, cells such as monocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils do not constitutively traffic through tissues in significant numbers. However, their numbers in tissues can be dramatically increased after certain inflammatory insults. Leukocyte specificity is illustrated by the predominance of neutrophils in sites of early acute inflammation, mononuclear cells in sites of chronic inflammation, and eosinophils in sites of inflammation associated with allergies or parasitic infection.
